Preventing Shots After Whistle

I've noticed this for a while. When play stops the Raptors (mostly Amir) always try to prevent an opponents shot from getting to the hoop. Can anyone explain this to me? Is it to prevent them from gaining confidence from seeing there shot go in? Do other teams do it?

Considering most people shoot under 50% wouldn't it be better to let him likely see his shot miss? I realize they're shooting % is in game and maybe much higher when there's no pressure but still it's likely 50/50 right?
I do like it, though. Kinda like they're denying the satisfaction of taking his shot, like when the ref denied Amir the chance to touch the ball between foul shots and he lost his cool.

why not make it a 100% chance that he misses? he will see it miss no matter what.. has the same effect even if he knew it was going in..

It's also a dick maneuver to get inside peoples head. If someone takes the time to shoot after the whistle and it's goal-tended it can be very frustrating and make you angry, which is also the point, to get you off your game. At least for Garnett.

Also, if you want to take it to the extreme do it Russell Westbrook style... he blocked the Nugget's Mascot's half court attempt twice

Most people shoot under 50% in a game situation. On a freebie shots however, that % skyrockets.

It started with KG as far as I am aware. But ever since Dwayne Casey came in, Ed Davis began doing it on our team (I think because of DC), then Amir joined in, and now most of the raptors attempt it including Quincy Acy who Ive seen do it multiple times.

I just wish the the Tony Allen video was mandatory watching in training camp for why not to jump after the whistle

I've heard this argument before as well as the one arguing that KG's knees would be in better shape if he didn't jump for hundreds of shots after the whistle. Personally, I think it's ridiculous. Injuries are going to happen. They're athletes. Should they not practice? Play summer ball? Be pushed around in wheelchairs all day to 'save' their bodies? Maybe teams should ban jumping off the bench to celebrate a teammates dunk. Could be dangerous.
